Live a Life of Joy & Peace. A New Kabbalah class by Rabbi Yitzchok Minkowicz ויהי בשלח פרעה את העם

welcome to our class thanks to this we're going to be learning this week a very special hasidic discourse in the rubber the name of the hasidic discourse is called by yehi basala just like in the beginning of the torah portion when para he sent out the jewish people from the land of egypt the rabbit said this discourse on shabbos passes bashar allah which happened to me that year was on two bashful as well as the 15th day of the month of schwartz in the year tough shin memzayin exactly 34 years ago so you ever start off the discourse based on the verse in the beginning of the torah portion where it says it was when para sent the jewish people out of the land of egypt and we became a free people so there are brings from toyota which we know is called the hasidic torah portion of the acidic insight into the torah portion and based on other hasidic discourses as well and the rubber quotes from the prophet hashem that says as follows that in reference to the jewish people in the land of egypt the prophet says was arati liberates i'm going to plant you into the earth what does that mean that means the talmud explains that when someone plants so for example you plant a little a few seeds but the goal is to have a tremendous abundance in the word of the talmud you plant a uh a core a cave and the goal is to get out many kurim manikaab so the same thing also the um the article explains in terrorism he says that when it comes to the planting of the jewish people in galas and not only in the goddess of mitsrayim but all exiles anytime we go into gallus because we know that all all the future exiles after the exile of the land of egypt is all in ref it's all referenced to the original ghalos the goddess of mitzrayim why is it all referenced to the goal of mitzrayim because mitsrayan comes from the word of matzah they're trying to make it tough and uh limiting for the jewish people so all exiles have the same idea spiritually of the idea of the exile of the land of egypt but what's the goal the goal is of all the suffering that we went through in the land of egypt and any any future any exile future after the land of egypt until mashiach comes the goal is there should be a tremendous profit a tremendous abundance and a tremendous elevation that takes place specifically through going through unfortunately the experience of gullus of exile so based on this derby explains that's what it means but it says when paris sends the jewish people out of egypt why because when the jewish people went into the land of egypt we know how many people went into land there were 70 souls that went into the land of egypt a core a small group of 70 people but on the other hand when they went through the all the years of gulas misraim when when shalakhar when pari finally sends the jewish people out of egypt there was a tremendous amount kamakura there was tremendous amount of jewish people that left egypt and as the verse says specifically um in reference to the jewish people leaving egypt what does it say of rene and beyond roma they went out with an outstretched hand they went out with tremendous abundance and with tremendous success so again true nobody wants to go to gullos nobody wants to be in exile but what the what the rebels explaining is that through gullahs the way hashem made it is that through the exile through the challenges of exile we end up leaving with tremendous wealth and tremendous success in other words so even though we went down into the land of egypt there's no question it's a it's absolutely a decent and it's not only they said it's a double descent and there ever quotes in the verse when it says he went down he went down it's a double going down exile's not a place to be it's a it's a descent for the jewish people for anybody in other words you're it's a going down and going down again even deeper into goddess but on the other hand we go out of egypt so the elevation that takes place is even greater as hashem says i will take you out but even higher you know you're going to go out doubly as high and there's aliyah acrylia one elevation on top of the elevation so even though it's a decent and a double descent but on the other hand when you have an elevation it's even higher and um so based on this rubber explains this is why it says vehicle that power took the jewish people out of egypt the question is when paris took the jewish people out of me paris the one that sent them out hashem sent them out so why didn't they specifically parry sent them out of egypt so the arabic explains because what happens is like this we know when it comes to parody who was the king of the land of egypt so this para of la umaza there's the power of the other side of holiness where we had a urethra when we went down initially we went down into the urethra and we went down into the descent of power of the opera soul of holiness but what happens is the goal is that we leave egypt we should have an elevation to the higher the spiritual parity because we know in kabbalah's explain many many places that para in a spiritual level is in the level of espario calling the holy lion which is a reference to tremendous huge amount of revelation or godly revelation so in other words in parallel there was the power and went down to egypt which was the opposite of holiness but then by eba so we're not referring to the same power referring to the holy party that we had the tremendous revelation that took place by yeti's misrain and as there are quotes from the terror where it says when when joseph was gathering all the wealth such as the hamish's lapari they gave one-fifth to and we all know what inc so in a simple level they gave him a fifth but according to kabbalah it's referring to the fifth level which is a very very high level which that level um was was was only revealed to pari and that's what we got when we left egypt the level of party the high level of harry and there ever says this same thing also applies in that reference to all the revelations which is a reference to the the revelations of going out of egypt in other words that the purpose of going into gullus the purpose of any descent is for the ascent not only just a regular ascent but the huge ascent that comes afterwards and rubber explains just like when going into gullis the whole purpose is to have a tremendous prophet comes afterwards so the same thing also we all know that's the physical gullus but every single one of us having a shama and have a goof have a soul have a body the soul was on high with hashem the soul came down into our body which is a urethra it's a downgrade imagine the soul is sitting with hashem the infinite and you're sending them down a mission into a body that's a tremendous urethra for the soul but on the other hand by going down into the body it's able to elevate not only the body but the soul gets elevated as as well and what how do we get elevated by doing our the spiritual work what's our spiritual work by learning torah and doing mitzvahs then we're able to reach a very very high level of an aliyah very high level of elevation so in other words when the nashama comes down into this world it's a urethra but what's the purpose of the reader not conscious trauma to remain that way but on the contrary we should elevate the physical world and elevate the soul as well so in other words so since by every urethra causes a tremendous allele so when you're going through the urethra what do you focus on the fact that it's your either it's only going to get you it's only going to get you further down if you're going to focus on the descent it's only going to get you further down but when you're going through the challenges and the struggles of life you have to realize guess what it is a struggle it is a challenge it is difficult but the reward is going to be huge and when you think about the reward is going to be huge so therefore the river says and this is very very key that's one of the main points in the discourse so since the avoider the work whether it's learning torah doing mitzvos and praying or any other struggle you're trying to overcome but again in buried within the struggle is the potential for the tremendous success which is going to have to happen afterwards so there is therefore itself understood that our our our spiritual work has to be done in a way of i'll say it in hebrew i'll translate it simcha you have to do it with happiness and with gladness of heart so even though you're going through a struggle even though we're struggling whether it's learning praying doing mitzvoth or whatever whatever struggle you're going through but again the struggle is for tremendous reward that's going to come right afterwards so how should you how should you be dealing with a struggle the way you deal with the struggle is exclusively with simcha with joy and gladness of heart now what happens is so when a person basically says the default setting is whatever i'm going through when it's great i'm happy when it's i'm struggling i'm happy when it's easy i'm happy when it's difficult i'm happy not only external happiness internal happiness to evolve my heart feels calm and peaceful so what happens is the rebbe says sometimes when you're experiencing constant joy and constant happiness and you're in a state of real simcha it's possible that you can come to a level of simcha which is not appropriate because we all know everything in life is pros and cons so there's this godly simcha and this which is not necessarily godly simcha so if a person is always in a state of simcha you can end up having simcha from the wrong reasons and from the wrong places so what happens then so we need hashem to help us that to make sure that our simcha should be from hashem not god forbid from strange places whatever the strangest places can be everyone knows their own areas where they get simcha where it's inappropriate to get it from so there ever says that's why the torah says hashem sent us out that means we're happy because we're getting this tremendous reward which is supposed to be a lesson while we're going through the struggle that we have to be happy but we're afraid that what you're going to get from the wrong places so therefore the verse says hashem didn't let us go through the land of push them we all know it's a shorter route why not and the answer is because polished him spiritually is a reference to i'll say it in hebrew translated foolish an open path what means an open path position spiritually it's an open path what means an open path it means there's no there's no there's no boundaries there's no limitations there's no um there's nothing that creating a border or any restrictions on it what does that mean spiritually you can you referring to simcha joy which is silliness and simcha which is silliness is not godly it's not holy so didn't want us to have open simcha which is coming from is coming from the wrong places and lead to the wrong places so therefore hashem put in the ban that he did he didn't allow us to go dark pleasure and he put us through a path that we should have limited some boundaries so the symbol should be coming from the right places to the right places now why because since our spiritual work we do how exclusively we are 24 7 happy we are 24 7 with gladness of heart so you need to have hashem to help us and hashem to guide us that we should cast fashion god forbid not fall into the path of derek pushed him where the simcha can come and go to the wrong places where in other words there shouldn't be an idea plishtim of lumaza of the opposite of holiness now so what happens then is what you're saying is one second on one hand you tell me i should be happy on one hand you're telling me it should be too evolved i should be my heart shall feel excited and elated but now you're saying you got to be careful so in other words you're putting a limit to my simcha because if you go without limits and boundaries no no to make it clear god forbid the simcha that we have should be without any limits holy sum without any limits in other words our has to be without any limits and on the contrary we have to have simcha beyond limits no limits nothing should hold us back we should have the most highest level of of of joy but nevertheless there has to be polish of kedusha we have to have limits and boundaries which are holy and that's what kind of browns are holy above nature above above anything no limits but they should be holy they should be holics i would be a holy simcha in other words in the world of kedusa the simcha should be infinite obviously it should not be it shouldn't exist in the world of the opposite of holiness we don't want to go there so the palestinian means hashem didn't allow us to go off and veer off in a place which is not holy but in the world of holiness simcha should be without limits and matter of fact that's why it says when they left the land of israel the land of egypt where were they going to they're going to the land of israel what is the land of israel called it's called the eretz toiva urakova the good land the happy land or cover means it's wide no boundaries in the land of polishing which is the opposite of holiness don't go there because that's going to give you an exposure to areas which is the opposite of holiness but in kedusha inertis roll which is basically we know is a land that god watches over it a holy place over there to be without limits not only without limits but without limits literally without limits without any limits i'll say it in hebrew we should experience sumha without limits whether life is going good and life is good you're going through challenges or struggles it's tough it's not easy but guess what simcha should always be there of holiness not only that ever says take it a step further what's the ultimate of simcha the ultimate of which hat doesn't have a limits is a simcha that there's no that it's not like this you have an opposition you have a struggle and you're experiencing sim khan if you're busy with a simcha no you're in such a level with it where there's no opposition whatsoever it's only it's only good it's only godly it's only the happiness there is no opposition whatsoever you're only dealing with godliness and like the arab brings from the um from the uh hasidic teachings of the middle arabah when we learned about the idea of pardon where it says in psalms where where it says that you redeem my soul in peace because so he's the midfielder explains what's the whole idea of shalom at peace when there's no opposition whatsoever because if there's opposition you have to overcome that's great that's wonderful but if there's no opposition that's the highest level of peace now when is that going to be the highest level when there's not going to be any opposition when the world is going to be full of drama-free only peace and happiness obviously in the highest level that's going to be when meshia comes as the verse says when she comes it's going to be peaceful it's going to be quiet which is basically the true level of peace now even though this this expression that's that was peaceful and uh quiet in his days referring to the days of king solomon but obviously we're very first for sure where mashiach is going to come as well and especially as the ramen writes that the mashiach comes from the ancestry of king david and king salman as well so the rubber recaps and he says like this that's the that's the hasidic insight to the big opening of this week's torah portion where it says shalom paris sends the people out and he didn't allow us to go into place of politician which means it was after we were unfortunately in the land of egypt and we had a tremendous descent we were angolas then we come to the ultimate elevation of parade sends us out and we experience doing it with tremendous symbol of tremendous joy and we come to a place of joy without any limits and hashem doesn't allow us to get lost in the the distraction of pushed him in in silliness and pettiness etc where there's no opposition whatsoever but we're going to have the ultimate of peace just like it's going to be like when mashiach comes so on this idea of the ultimate of peace they're going to explain a little more in depth what does it mean the ultimate of peace so he starts off with an introduction where the rambam writes at the end of um the book of the rambam where he speaks at the laws of kings he says he says as follows that the wise people the prophets when they envisioned and they dreamt of the days of mashiach why why they dream of the days of mashiach coming what was their purpose say so there are my rights what they are dreaming of is that they want to be able to be free to learn torah to learn the wisdom of hashem and in a time when she comes there's not going to be any war there's not going to be any famine there's not going to be any jealousy there's not going to be any competition and there's going to be such tremendous amount of good in the world and all the delicacies all the materialism is going to be just like you see the sand unlimited amount of sand on the earth that's the way it's all materialism is going to be it's going to be totally available so what are people going to be doing all day no one has to work everything you need you're going to have so the people are going to be busy looks like you're busy and work to make money people are getting busy with what one thing only ladas is hashem people they're not gonna have any distractions they're not gonna have to worry about any prognosis a livelihood making money or dealing with anything in the world they're going to be busy knowing hashem that's what you're busy with and since they're going to be busy a whole day with lush ladas hashem so the rama writes therefore there's going to be tremendous great wise people they're going to know the secrets of the torah they're going to understand the depth of hashem as much as a human can couldn't understand and the ramen quotes the verse and he says because when mashiach comes it's going to be mala hashem the whole world will be filled with the knowledge of hashem kamayam yamakasim just like the water covers everything up so the whole world becomes filled with the knowledge of hashem says that what is the ultimate goal of when mashiach comes that there should be true peace no war like the rama rights no war no jealousy no competition the only thing we're going to want to do is that's hashem everyone's going to get along the only thing we're going to have one one one mission one vision how do we know hashem a little more quantitatively and qualitatively deeper and there and there ever says this replies to kolbe islam everybody jews and non-jews alike everybody's going to want to know hashem more now there is a difference river says the the level of understanding that did a non-jewel reach and a jew will reach and he says like this a a regular person will be able to understand god on the level of and i'll say in hebrew will translate malik he'll know god the way god is felt and available in this physical world on the other hand the jewish person will be able to know the hidden secrets of hashem and be able to know the level of slave of kalaman the level of god which hovers over the world which doesn't it which just too powerful to come into the world now by this type of knowledge it means everybody's going to want to know das hashem whether it's the non-jews in the love of him or the jews and the love of savior calamine through that we're going to have true peace in the world and like there were quotes in the ramen the ramen says that the serving the serving hashem is going to be in a way that everyone together is going to everyone's going to gather in a unified way unity is going to be key a amongst the jewish people and be amongst the whole world and as the ramen quotes and the verse in prophets where it says i'm going to transform the whole world they're going to have one language what's the one language lik we're all going to call one hashem of the mecca we're all going to serve hashem together everyone's going to serve hashem together and the rebel explains that every explains this as follows and he says like this and what does obama write that what's going to happen comes knows how is it that the whole world is going to serve hashem together on the same way she ever said like this because the rambam writes what's going on comes it's going to be ladas hashem to know hashem now it's interesting what term does he use he uses the term das now what does das mean so we know on the sphero there's ten spheroid this das the three intellectual spirit and then there's a seven emotional spirit fairest and that's but what sphere does rama use he doesn't say he doesn't say bino or any of the emotional word pharaohs he uses specifically the idea of das everyone is going to be das hashem the way we're going to relate to hashem is not through hessed not through guru not through terrorists any of the emotional spheres not through not to reno specifically to das true we're going to use all the spheroids but the primary force is specifically dust why specifically thus so the out so the river brings from the arthur up in tanya where he explains what is the idea of das what is the practicality of the sphere of dust you know although it says like this das is an expression of his castrus a connection the brush when you when you become unified when you become connected what does that mean that you're taking your das your intellect and you're connecting it in a very very strong and deep connection as the author uses expression in other words probably a modern term would be a deep meditation a deep intellectual connection not just because you can know knowledge and not be connected to it you can know things you don't believe in you can know things you don't agree with das means you're connected to it you can relate to it you feel it you understand i'm talking feeling intellectual feeling not emotional feeling so das is a deep intellectual connection now so the alter writes so what is the power of das the power of dos is it gives you a deep intellectual connection to the idea you're thinking about and the idea you're connecting with through the dust and therefore the alter brights because das is so powerful so therefore does is what creates and maintains the emotions in other words let's say for example you're thinking about something it could be love or or whatever you're thinking about the love if it's a love thing the love is going to only get stronger if it's an all thing that's going to get stronger so for example if you have some in front of you there's a wall behind the wall there's a ferocious lion and you don't know about it are you going to be afraid no but on the other hand all of a sudden someone picks the veil and you see it through a glass now you're going to be nervous why because you see it das is the intellectual connection that will create emotions which emotions so you have either alpha if you're thinking about in a loving way you'll create emotions of love and all the branches that come off the idea of love and then also it creates either yero which is ore and everything that comes from europe so alva in europe is not just born on its own it's born based on das the greater the dars and if you're thinking about love that's the greater the love it's going to be the greater the dos unfortunately in the in year that's the greater the year is going to be now so das breathes ava and dash meets zero let's take it a step further ava when you love satsik in case of hashem so he knows das he start meditating about hashem how great he is how amazing he is how shame created the world maintains the world he gives us our life and so on and so forth what does that develop a tremendous love for hashem what is that to develop a tremendous awful hashem so the more dust the more we meditate in hashem the more we're gonna have a love for hashem the more we're gonna have an offer hashem now what happens when you have a tremendous love for hashem what happens when you have a tremendous offer hashem so the love will create the ability and the want and the desire to fulfill every one of the 248 positive commandments on the other hand the era is going to create the ability and the desire not to transgress from any of the 365 negative commandments so again just to recap so that's the alter explains is the power that allows you to connect and by connecting that creates the love and the all and once you create the love and your the love will create you the ability to want to and continue to do the 248 commandments or the euro will get you to do 300 and stay away from god for transgressing there's three or six turnover commandments so if you want to work it backwards if you want to be able to do all the mitzvoties and you don't want to transgress make sure the love and the oil is flowing and in order to make sure your love and the oil is flowing make sure you're meditating you're using das so it starts with us and ends with the action now so based on this what does everybody explain what did we say what happens when the shia comes it's going to be what are the people busy busy with because they're not going to have anything to do we're not going to have to work we're not everything's going to be available anything materialism when you need is going to be available so what are we doing the whole day we're going to be doing ladas hashem now so what we so when you when a person is busy a whole day ladas meditating on hashem's greatness and it's going to be complete because you're not going to have any distractions so you're going to have tremendous love for hashem tremendous offer hashem and therefore you're going to be busy doing learning torah you're going to be doing mitch voice but not just doing learning turn and doing mixes you're going to do it complete because das is going to be strong if dance is strong avenue is going to be strong if alvin you is going to be strong doing the mitzvos is going to be strong so that is so to speak for a jew we'll do all the 613 commandments for let's say a nanju that doesn't have an obligation to do 630 commandments but he's going to be thinking with das of hashem he's going to love hashem he's going to be no hashem he is going to fulfill every one of those seven noah hyde commandments complete why because the dust is going to be strong and the das creates the love and the awe which will create the ability to do all the mitzvahs so therefore so since the whole world will be doing what ladas hashem that means the whole world will have love for hashem the whole world will have here for hashem therefore the whole world will be busy doing the missus they have to do if it's for the jews the 248 positive the 365 negatives all the 630 commandments and for the non-jews the seven noah height laws and because we're going to be busy just serving hashem so we're going to have trial peace we're going to serve one hashem all focused on hashem so i'd rather ask a simple question that's great it's amazing that's what's going to happen but there was asking how is it possible that the whole world will have yadis hashem knowing hashem the whole world jews non jews adults children i mean that's a that's a tall order and we're saying it's a given i mean das you have to that's you have to meditate i mean is that it's going to happen by a snap of a finger how does that work and the the rabbit says he explains this based on what the rambam writes in the beginning of the ramen he says something very powerful and he says like this rama writes right in the beginning of his book of the other kazakh he says as follows foundation of all foundations so there's foundations but this is your solid highest soils this is the foundation of all foundations that's point number one point number two the amud this beam of all intellect and all wisdom is so it's a foundation and it's the basis of the beginning of all intellect the foundation the strength of all the intellect leda to know some that there is there is a first primordial being there's the first existence that existed now this primordial being who mancy called nimsa this first being creates everything that comes afterwards now therefore there are and spells it out everything that exists from the heaven to the earth and everything in between that means heaven earth everything between which basically means everything and as the ramen writes more specific literally even a small fly which is somewhere in the earth all comes from the truth of that existence now so who knows what's drama writing that anything that exists and we say anything mean literally anything where does it come from it comes from the amity himacha which is the truth of real of the existence which is referring to hashem and the ramen goes into tremendous depth and he's very very specific it refers to all the heavens and all the earth and all the anything i mean he spells it out not only all the gulgalim all the skies and heavens etc but even in this physical world we know this physical world everything is made up of a component a composite of four elements fire wind water and earth so every one of these elements come from hashem so therefore everything that exists comes from hashem that means everything comes from a mitisi matsuri from this primordial being that causes everything to exist everything comes from the true the true oneness of hashem now based on this rubber explains what we ask how is it possible everyone's going to know hashem is very simple what is the ramen right everything every existence comes exists from immediate from that immediacy from hashem so therefore if you look at anything in the world human non-human physical spiritual anything fire water earth ear anything from any of these four elements that any combination of it what is the true existence of everything hashem so therefore when you know you're thinking about ashama you're thinking about something external of yourself let's go learn about this god learn about the god we wouldn't be if not for god so since we would not be if not for hashem is it hard to know hashem if not hashem i wouldn't be so i am here because of hashem you are here because of hashem everything is here because of hashem so it's not like we have to learn about this power the power is us we exist because of the power so because we exist because of the power therefore it's very easy to know no hashem this is who everything that exists is hashem you don't have to go far it's right in your backyard or in your front yard wherever you are everything is from hashem so because everything is from hashem it's very easy to know hashem and once we know it let's bring it back once you know hashem therefore you love him or you're an or and you're in or of him and if you're willing to do any of the mitzvos that you're supposed to be doing so all going to be we're all going to be doing knowing hashem which is very easy because that's who we are and that's what's how we're here therefore we're going to love hashem we're all going to be in all of hashem and we're all going to do the midsize of hashem and we're not going to transgress anything we're not we shouldn't be doing so therefore we're all going to be we're going to be unified real unity and the rubber finishes often says he wishes it should happen very very quick can you imagine how everyone's gonna recognize that who who is their creator and if everyone's gonna love hashem everyone's gonna get along everyone's gonna be happy peace and happiness the two biggest gifts we can have so ever since it should be the wish that should happen very very quick and it should be fulfilled the promise the rama writes about in other words the physical tremendous gifts that madanim can offer that all the treasures that people spend the time and energy and resources to obtain it's going to be just like this the earth on the ground all the treasures are going to be all over the place that's on a physical level and like drama writes in the laws of truva the laws of repentance that the reason why hashem is all of a sudden going to make this tremendous abundance that anything you need physical uh whether it's a need whether it's an enjoyment whether it's a treasure whether it's diamonds jewelries whatever it may be the reason why it's going to be totally available so that we won't have any distractions we won't have any needs or concerns that's not fulfilled automatically right away why so that you can be busy just knowing hashem so that is their wishes that we should have the the physical wealth that we need so we can busy just focus on hashem also we should have the spiritual gifts the spiritual treasures what's the spiritual treasures that of allah or it's they as hashem that the whole world we will know hashem no hashem das will know hashem that the the idea of hashem is truth will be revealed to everybody and as the verse says by yo mahu in that day hashem the infinite hashem and though we call us from which is the lower level it's all going to be one we're all going to see that it's really all one and like with like it says like it says because we know hashem is written in your kevke we don't say you'd keep up k we say so why because that's an infinite level and this is what we can handle but it's all going to be the same thing the way it's written the way it's the way the way we say it it's all going to be the same thing as the verse says we're going to see that the real king is the infinite god the the another verse has been neglected will be revealed viral call buster yacht of every single flesh the flesh the physical world is going to see keep hashem the one really speaking the one that really has the power to speak is hashem and like it says in the shiro hashem will be the king forever and ever and as it says before that in the in this that the holiness of hashem is everything comes from the holiness of hashem which hashem made with his own hands which ultimately hashem will give us and built for us the building of the third temple and it should happen speedily in our days so as you can see it's a beautiful acidic discourse because a it teaches us two powerful lessons one is that even through our struggles and our challenges we have to remember the purpose is for the tremendous gain and because it's all about the ultimate great gain we have to be happy that's first of all and the second thing is which is really really important that we have to have trial unity because ultimately the old the whole goal of the creating the world is we should have true actors which obviously will be all revealed in the shia comes we can start living it today by realizing that everything comes from hashem everything is for is from hashem and as we meditate on the greatness of hashem we'll have love for hashem we'll have offer hashem and it will allow us the ability to do and all to learn torah and do all the mitzvos with tremendous love and joy and happiness have a great and blessed week and let's hope our next year will give together in your shalayim ear hakodesh have a great and blessed happy week
